Bachelorette Wrap Up

I didn't really care for the finale to the Bachelorette. In my (who in the world cares) opinion, it was quite predictable and kind of anti-climatic. The best part of the finale was the song at the end. I really liked it and you all know me, I had to you tube it! Enjoy.

Call Me Ishmael

My feet are killing me, my back is sore, my white t-shirt is so black that I may just have to throw it out and I am in desperate need of a shower, but it is done! I pretty much conquered my Moby Dick today. Yes, that is right, the garage is clean.

My good friend, Julie, came over today and was ANXIOUS to get to work. I was so grateful for her help. She is an organizational genius. Although she wasn't prepared for the gigantic mess that I threw at her, she was such a sport and really helped me get the whole space into shape.

Now, I am not 100% finished. I have to throw away dozens of paint cans and have Harvey go through about a dozen boxes of his stuff but, I can now park two cars in my garage. A feat that has not be accomplished in MY ENTIRE MARRIAGE. Anyway, again, I am very hesitant to post this but, I am so darn excited that it is done. Thanks Julie for all of your help and support. You are fantastic!!! I owe you SOOO big time.
I had to show off Julie's cute boy Xander and a little orphan that I decided to adopt during the day. Seriously. Can you believe that he looked like this the whole day.

Celebrity Sightings--UPDATED

Do you ever have anyone tell you that you look like a certain celebrity? Do you ever think that any of your friends look like someone somewhat famous? Well, after my last post of I was thinking about my family and who the remind me of. So, I am listing them. Just thought that you would be interested. I am still trying to figure out who I look like. Let me know if you have any ideas.

First off, my dad. After consulting with my siblings, we all discussed the look alikes and this is what we have come up with. My brothers and sisters have decided that Dad looks like either Dustin Hoffman or Robert Redford. I need to get some better pictures up.

My mother has been compared to Goldie Hawn her entire life. When my dad first met her down at BYU, he immediately made that connection. Young pictures of both mom and Goldie are dead ringers for each other. Lucky mom!!!Derek is pretty much Mr. Incredible. When we saw the trailer for this movie for the first time, Kyra screamed at the movie screen that that we her uncle. The theater laughed and thought she was a doll. Anyway, the description fits. The guy spends more time in the gym in a week than I do in a year.

Derek also gets compared to Daniel Craig (007) and Sting. Both are pretty close. I was impressed. My brother Dustin is awesome! I love him to death. Depending on his mood and personality at the time, we compare him to Johnny Depp (he really does very closely resemble him only with blonde hair) or David Spade. His personality is the key!

The family also added a young Jessica Lange to Dustins look alikes. Look at the face, not the hair do, bra straps or necklace. None of which he sports.

My younger sister, Downi has been compared to Agent Scully (in the past when her hair was short) and Laura Prepon. My sister looks so much like Laura that it is scary. She is just as gorgeous.

The family also added Michelle Williams to Downi's list.

This is my super cute brother, Dalton. He is so unique and is constantly being compared to people. As I was writing this, I hopped over to Facebook and he took one of those surveys naming people that he resembles. Well, my top two, the ones that we mention are Gollum (Smeagle) and Malfoy. He also resembles a turtle, any albino in any movie and my grandma.

My sweet, innocent brother Dayn. He wouldn't hurt a mosquito. He is the most caring guy in the world. I love him to death. His personality and his looks are quite similar to Ron Weasley. He also has an uncanny similarity to Cindy Lou Hou.

Danza, my sis, reminds me of several people. More based on the roles that they play than their look. The two that hit me the most are Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Hillary Swank.

The family also decided that Harvey resembles Tiger Woods a bit.

Harvey Harvey Harvey. What can we say about Harvey. Well, I think that Downi pegged it years and years ago when Harvey and I were just dating. He is a dead ringer for a Latin Jerry Seinfeld and "the guy from No Doubt." After googling No Doubt, I can see the connection. She is talking about the one with the yellow and green hat.

My mother-in-law, for all intents and purposes, is Marie Barone. She looks just like and acts just like Marie. I love Everybody Loves Raymond but, I feel myself empathizing so much with Debra. SOOOOOO much!

Last, but not least, I have to add my Father-In-Law, Eddy. When my parents finished seeing the new Willy Wonka, they had to come straight to my house. They told me that Eddy could have been this guys stunt double. Although, the Oompla Loompa looks a bit more like Harvey's uncle, the resemblance is uncanny. Even the kids think that they look alike.

My Review of Harry Potter

I went to go see Harry Potter tonight and I have to tell you, I loved it. I LOVED IT!

When I originally heard people talking about the movie, they were describing it as funny. I have to ammend that. The movie was hilarious. I laughed through the entire thing. That surprised me. I thought that the 6th book was the darkest of the books. However, the producers of this movie made it extraordinarily entertaining.

I will say, that my favorite part of the whole movie was the ambience. I got to sit next to Malfoy's look alike. Malfoy just happens to be my BROTHER!!! Don't they look exactly alike. People watched us leaving the theater thinking that we were with one of the stars. Next time he goes to see it (which he says that he won't do because he hated the movie) I think he needs to wear an all black suite.

Dayn, my other brother, has the complete personality of Ron Weasley. Every time Ron did something on the screen, I had to laugh because it reminded me so much of my baby bro.

All in all, GREAT movie.

And The Award Goes To.....

My dad is a fabulous grandfather. He adores his grandkids and that admiration goes both ways. Today he called me outside to see what Kaeson was up to. Little did I know, they were in a full on water fight and Kaeson had the upper hand. At one point, my dad hid behind me. Kaeson, being the complete momma's boy sweetheart that he is, tried to avoid hitting me. He kept warning me to move and then finally came up with one final plea, "Mom, you are going to get wet too if you don't move." That got my rear in gear and left my dad as the lone man standing. I did get a bit of the cross fire but not too bad.
